Rebirth: Find a General as Your Backer

Their conversation drifted softly into the ears of Zhou Qi and Ling Lin.

The longer Zhou Qi spent with Miss Su, the more different his feelings became. During this time, he deeply realized that Miss Su was a person with a strong sense of justice and a far-sighted vision. Her kindness and sense of responsibility were truly admirable. Perhaps only a woman like her was worthy of a position beside the general.

Ling Lin also greatly admired Miss Su's decision. Initially, he mistakenly thought that the general was only attracted by Miss Su's beauty. However, as he got to know Miss Su better, he gradually realized that it was Miss Su's patriotism, her courage, and her unwavering character that truly moved the general.

......

"General, how many days will you be staying at the manor this time?" Su Lianxue raised her face slightly, her clear, autumn-water-like eyes sparkling with anticipation as she quietly looked at the general.

Her graceful figure swayed gently in the breeze, like a blooming flower, making her all the more endearing.

Chu Mohan did not respond immediately; he simply gazed quietly at the beautiful woman before him. She was always so beautiful, so beautiful that he did not want to be apart from her for even a moment.

Her exquisite face, her jet-black hair, and the gentleness and determination in her eyes captivated him.

However, when the news of the King of Canglang's illness came to mind, a sense of helplessness and urgency welled up within him. The imperial decree of marriage could arrive at any moment, and he had to hurry and prepare for their future.

But deep down, all he longed for was to stay by her side and share every beautiful moment with her.

"How long do you want me to stay?" He asked, a gentle smile curving his lips, his eyes filled with deep affection. His voice was deep and magnetic, seemingly possessing a magical power that captivated all who heard it.

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Su Lianxue couldn't help but let out a soft snort. The general clearly knew her feelings, yet he deliberately teased her like this.

She felt a mixture of reproach and indescribable sweetness. She frowned slightly, a playful glint in her eyes, as if blaming the general for his deliberate teasing.

However, she quickly realized that the general was busy with his affairs and that they would probably not be able to see each other for a long time, and a strong feeling of attachment welled up in her heart.

"General..." she called softly, her voice filled with longing. Her voice was like a gentle breeze caressing the strings of a harp, soft and moving.

Looking at her charming appearance, Chu Mohan felt a surge of tenderness in his heart. "Are you tired? Come on, climb onto my back."

He spoke softly, slowly crouching down, his eyes filled with doting affection and tenderness. She must be tired after walking so long; he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Su Lianxue was deeply moved by the general's actions. She gently nestled against him, her hands softly encircling his neck, burying her face deeply in his neck.

She could feel the general's warmth and steadfastness, as if she had found a safe haven in his protection.

For some reason, tears silently streamed down her face, like pearls falling from a broken string. In her mind, the lonely years after her marriage to a foreign ruler in her previous life unfolded like a scroll. Those long and unbearable days and nights, if not for the longing for her grandfather in her heart, she might not have been able to endure for long, and in the end, she met a tragic end.

Having been reborn, she never expected to meet the general and be so deeply cared for by him. Her heart was filled with gratitude.

Chu Mohan felt her tears flow down his neck and slowly trickle down his skin. He didn't say anything, but simply carried her on his back, walking steadily step by step, his grip tightening slightly.

He could sense her sadness and longing, and secretly vowed to make her happy and never let her experience any more pain or suffering.

"I can't bear to see you leave me." Su Lianxue's voice was choked with sobs. At this moment, she had abandoned all reason, and only one thought remained in her mind: that the general could always stay by her side.

She clung tightly to the general's neck, as if trying to drive away all the unease in her heart.

"I won't leave, I'll stay with you." Chu Mohan's voice was gentle yet firm, full of doting affection. How could he bear to leave her?

And so, time slipped by quietly, and before she knew it, Su Lianxue drifted off to sleep on Chu Mohan's strong and warm back. Feeling her steady and gentle breathing, Chu Mohan was filled with tenderness, as if he possessed the whole world, and couldn't bear to put her down even for a moment.

It had been a long time since he had seen her. The thought of going to the Canglang Kingdom and not seeing her for a long time filled Chu Mohan with endless longing and reluctance.

So he returned to his residence without hesitation, eager to see her whom he longed for day and night. However, upon arriving home, he learned that she was not there.

At that moment, his heart was instantly filled with loss, and his longing surged like a tidal wave. Without thinking, he rushed to the Chen residence, driven by an intense desire to see her.

I just want to see her as soon as possible!!!

Ling Lin was acutely aware of the tremendous changes that had taken place in the general. In the past, the general had always devoted himself entirely to military affairs, as if the military camp was his entire world.

He spent long periods of time in the military camp and rarely returned home. That camp, filled with iron will and perseverance, seemed to have become his eternal home.

Whether under the scorching sun or in the biting cold, the general remained steadfast there, sharing weal and woe with his soldiers, and fighting for the peace of the border and the happiness of the people.

However, the general today is quite different from before. He has undergone a complete transformation and has become much more humane.

He was no longer the stern and cold-blooded general who only knew how to give orders; he began to care about the people around him and their feelings.

......

When Wang Wan'er returned to the mansion, she whispered to Aunt Qiu, "Mother, I saw the General today. The General actually taught Miss Su how to shoot arrows."

As she spoke, that scene involuntarily flashed through her mind, and a slight pang of sorrow welled up in her heart.

She pondered to herself that the general was extremely gentle with Miss Su, yet he never once looked at her, as if she didn't exist at all.

Seeing this, Aunt Qiu couldn't help but pull her into her arms, gently patting her back without saying a word. Letting go of someone isn't an easy thing; it will inevitably take some time.

After a while, Aunt Qiu asked with concern, "Did you have fun today?" She was worried about her daughter and didn't want to see her so gloomy.

"It was pretty good. We even had a fresh dish today, boiled shrimp, which tasted quite good." Wang Wan'er immediately became interested when the dish was mentioned.
